Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national policies and access to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary in open countryside with poor access to services and facilities, combined with the harm to the rural character and appearance of the area, conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy and cannot be outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits.
The limited benefits of 2 housing units and some economic benefit were outweighed by significant adverse weight given to conflict with the spatial strategy and harm to character and appearance, resulting in dismissal.
